(a) What is the angular frequencyrole="math" localid="1657731610160" Ó¬? (b) What is the frequency? (c) What is the period? (d) Suppose this apparatus were taken to the moon, where the strength of the gravitational field is onlyrole="math" localid="1657731589019" 1/6ofthatearth . What would be the period of the Moon? (Consider carefully how the period depends on properties of the system, look at the equation.)

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The angular frequency is 2.86rad/s

  2. The frequency is 0.45Hertz

  3. The period is 2.2s

  4. Hence, the time period of Moon is 5.39s

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

  • The mass of a ball is1.4kg.

  • The stiffness is4N/m

  • The amplitude is 14cm

  • The strength of the gravitational field is only 1/6ofthatearth

02

Concept of stiffness, amplitude

Stiffnessis defined asthe force required producing a unit deformation.

Amplitude is defined as the maximum displacement obtained by the object.

03

(a) Determination of the angular frequency

Angular Frequency is defined as the angular displacement of any object of the wave in unit time.

Angular Frequency,

Ó¬=ksm(1)

where,

ks=Thestiffnessm=Themass

Substituting the values in above expression,

Ó¬=41.4Ó¬=2.86rad/s

Hence, the angular frequency is2.86rad/s

04

(b) Determination of the frequency

Frequency is defined as the number of cycles required to complete a full wave per unit time.

Frequency,

f=Ó¬2Ï€=2.862Ï€=0.45Hertz

Hence, the frequency is 0.45Hertz.

05

(c) Determination of the period

Time Period is defined as the time required completing a full wave to cross a point.

Period,

T=2Ï€Ó¬(2)

Substituting the value in above expression,

T=2Ï€2.86T=2.2s

Hence, the period is 2.2s.

06

(d) Determination of the period of the Moon

Time period of the Moon,

Tmoon≈6.TearthWhere,Tearth=2.2sTmoon≈6×2.2s≈5.39s

Hence, the time period of Moon is5.39s

A hanging copper wire with diameter 1.4 mm (1.4×10-3)m is initially 0.95m long. When a 36kg mass is hung from it, the wire stretches an amount 1.83mm, and when a 72kg mass is hung from it, the wire stretches an amount 3.66mm. A mole of copper has a mass of 63g, and its density is9g/cm3 Find the approximate value of the effective spring stiffness of the interatomic force.

A hanging titanium wire with diameter2mm(2×10-3m) is initially 3mlong. When a 5kgmass is hung from it, the wire stretches an amount 0.4035mm, and when a 10kgmass is hung from it, the wire stretches an amount 0.807mm. A mole of titanium has a mass of 48g, and its density is 4.51g/cm3. Find the approximate value of the effective spring stiffness of the interatomic force, and explain your analysis .

A mass of 2.2kgis connected to a horizontal spring whose stiffness is role="math" localid="1657769591862" 8N/m. When the spring is relaxed,x=0. The spring is stretched so that the initial value of x=+0.18m. The mass is released from rest at time role="math" localid="1657769734196" t=0. Remember that when the argument of a trigonometric function is in radians, on a calculator you have to switch the calculator to radians or convert the radians to degrees. Predict the position x whent=1.15s.

A spring suspended vertically is 18cmlong. When you suspend a 30g weight from the spring, at rest, the spring is 22cm long. Next you pull down on the weight so the spring is 23cm long and you release the weight from rest. What is the period of oscillation?

The period of a particular spring-mass oscillator is 1 when the amplitude is5cm . (a) what would be the period if we doubled the mass? (b) What would be the period if we replaced the original spring with a spring that is twice as stiff (keeping the original mass)? (c) What would be the period if we cut the original spring in half and use just one of the pieces (keeping the original mass)? (d) What would be the period if we increased the amplitude of the original system to10cm , so that the total distance traveled in one period is twice as large? (e) What would be the period if we took the original system to a massive planet whereg=25N/kg ?
